1) List three or four initiatives for Ogden that you want to spearhead during your term?
I would like to look at a comprehensive plan for biking and pedestrian travel in our community. Complete streets would help promote biking and walking in our community. Keeping our population active and healthy while using some of the great amenities we have with our walking, hiking and biking trails and reducing motor vehicle pollution can have a positive impact in the quality of life for residents of all ages. Currently, it is dangerous to walk or bike along certain routes and that needs to change.
I would neighborhood councils revitalized and activated. This could help improve citizen involvement and encourage them to work with their neighbors to address issues within their neighborhood.
I would like to increase the amount of time the Ogden City Council spends in the community. We have conducted meetings at venues in neighborhoods relevant to community plans that are being discussed and adopted and they are a good opportunity to talk to people from a broad range of backgrounds about their concerns and what they would like to see happen in Ogden. More opportunities like this would be valuable to both the members of the Ogden City Council and the citizens that they serve.
